In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Whether you’re turning wrenches in a shop or tackling a home project, the Milwaukee Shockwave 16 mm metric 6-point standard impact socket is built to handle high-torque demands with confidence. Designed for 3/8" drive tools, this socket combines rugged construction with precise hex engagement to keep fasteners from slipping under pressure.

  • Size and compatibility: 16 mm metric, 6-point configuration for a secure grip on hex fasteners and a 3/8" drive to fit common impact wrenches and drivers.
  • Durable construction: Forged steel for lasting strength in demanding impact applications, finished in black for corrosion resistance and a professional look on the job.
  • Impact-ready design: Specifically engineered to withstand repeated hammering and high-torque loads without shelling or rounding of corners.
  • Compact length: 1.25" length provides access to tight spaces where longer sockets won’t fit, making it ideal for automotive, machinery, and equipment work.
  • Reliability you can count on: Part of the Shockwave line, offering robust performance for professional trades and serious DIY users alike.
  • Packaging and availability: Carded, single-piece unit ready for immediate use in your toolkit or on-the-job display.

Use cases that benefit from this socket include metric bolt and nut fasteners in automotive repairs, equipment maintenance, and hardware assemblies where a secure 6-point grip and reliable impact endurance are essential. The 16 mm size is a common choice for many European and Asian components, making this socket a versatile addition to any metric toolkit.

Why choose this Milwaukee Shockwave socket over generic alternatives? It’s built with forged steel and an impact-rated design to resist wear, maintain hex integrity under load, and deliver consistent performance across repeated sessions. The 3/8" drive is a sweet spot for a balance of speed and torque, suitable for most mid-range impact wrenches without overburdening fasteners.

Pro tips for optimal results: pair this socket with a compatible 3/8" drive impact ratchet or wrench, ensure it fully seats on the fastener to minimize rounding, and store it in a dry environment to preserve the black finish. For best longevity, avoid using in non-impact environments where excessive lateral force could strip or deform the socket interior.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
